Psychic

I dont know who all out there believes in psychic's....but I was a skeptic until I saw this guy for the first time. His name is Terry Davis and he is flippin awesome! I first went to him about 4 years ago at a psychic party that a friend of the family had. He comes to your house and you have to have at least 10 but nor more then 15 people get a reading done. Its $40, but its soooo worth it! He records it for you and everything! So anyway, that friend of the family had him out this last weekend and I decided I would have another reading done. Well these are some of the things he told me:

-Right off the bat he takes my hands and does a reading from them first....he says, "You have 2 kids...same sex....there is a third, its gonna be the opposite and soon".....so he called it, I have 2 girls and we plan to try for a boy next month (All I told him was my name)

-He does some medium work too (which, if you dont know is where dead people talk to him)....He says, "Someone is here for you...I am seeing like a grandma, great grandma...I am also seeing the letter L, like could be a middle name or first name" OMG, thats my great grandma Iva (her middle name is Lucille)....she just wanted to tell me that she is ok and happy for me and wanted to say congratulations on the boy. Aww, I loved my grandma (she passed away last year)

-He then goes onto his tarot cards and starts hittin my marriage on the head....like totally called me out on stuff and it was so weird!

There are some WACK psychics out there but this guy is for real! I am not kidding! My mom is going to book a psychic party with him and I have to spread the word to have people come and have him read for them....if you have never been to a psychic that would be a great time to start, it was such a cool experience!

Luck!

So a couple of weeks ago I was backing out of my driveway and wasn't paying enough attention because Emma was telling me a story and blah blah blah....well anyway, I floored it out of my driveway when.....CRASH.....I backed into my brother in laws car!!!!! And yes, I was driving my Durango...poor poor Durango! But given that I have a Durango and my BIL has a Mustang, you can imagine the damage to my vehicle and the damage to his....well since I work in insurance I know how to get around certain things and so I told my MIL that she needed to turn the claim in to her insurance and say that she was hit in a parking lot....it happens so often that the insurance company wouldnt even question it. And the only reason I asked that she do this was to save me from having an at-fault accident (which in turn makes my insurance go up) and a $500 deductible. Well heaven forbid she do anything to help Bob and I out....she goes and files the damn claim on my insurance and is now getting the car fixed and THEN goes and gets my BIL a flippin rental car when his car is going to be in the shop for like 3 days...and of course files that too...its like adding salt to the wound! So that was the first thing that happened during my lucky month.

NEXT.....about a week later, Bob and I decide to have lunch where his Mom works (restaurant) and as Bobby is pulling out of the damn parking lot.....BAM...hits a flippin guy on his bike! WTF Bob, are ya blind???? I mean the guy was literally RIGHT in front of Bobby's car! Well he doesnt hurt the guy and Bobby also doesnt get a ticket, but now we have to fix this guy's bike! So we decided that we were not going to file ANOTHER at-fault accident on our insurance, because then they might cancel our insurance and thats not good! So we decided we would just pay out of our pocket for the damages....I mean, its a bike...how much damage could be done??? Oh about $425 worth I guess.....Apparently, this was an awesome bike that normally runs about $1,000 new. Well I am not stupid and I asked the guy (who, might I add is someone I went to school with and is probably a loser and probably bought the damn bike at a garage sale) to go and get an estimate, cause I will be damned if I am going to pay that much for damages and not have it in writing! Well thats where I got the $425 from...that was the estimate! So we will be selling our souls to pay for that one....

THIRD...We have been noticing for some time that our Cobalt is making a weird humming noise and is pretty shaky. We just havent had the money to get it fixed. Well we finally get around to having the guy next door look at it (he is a mechanic) and he says its a wheel bearing. Well of course our car has to be retarded and not need wheel bearings, NO...it needs a whole hub assembly (which is apparently what is on newer vehicles...its like $200)...anyway, so I was bummed about that and then someone tells me that wheel bearings and hub assembly's are covered under warranty...and since we purchased all the warranties possible on the cobalt (Thank God)...I found out that it was covered. So, Bobby takes it in and well of course they call Bobby this morning to tell him that we have a bent rim and that bent rim impacted the bearing to go bad....Oh did it you POS??? SO all in all it would now, NOT be covered under warranty. SO then I thought well how in the sam haites would our rim get bent??? I mean you would have to hit something pretty damn hard to get a bent rim. Then I thought, oh wait, when Bobby got hit back in the Winter by some guy, he hit that same side of the car and it was in the front where the tire is....so thats what must have happened. SO then I go and talk to our claims guy and he says that insurance will def. cover it and if not, its because they had to prove that it was just worn out and then at that point the warranty would have to cover it....so there IS light at the end of the tunnel! Yay!

Thanks for listening!....or ummm...reading!

Its rainin babies, halleluyah its a rainin babies..AMEN!

Ok so....here is the thing: Bobby and I are going to begin our "Trying for a Boy" come next month and I need to know if anybody has any tips on how to get a boy??? I mean, I know that our chances are pretty high to have another girl, but its worth a shot.....dont get me wrong, I love little girls and all their cute pink stuff....but Bobby wants a boy bad! So throw out them ideas!

On another note....I am starting up a charity called, "Maternity Clothes for Carrie" and its a non-profit organization that gives all of the maternity clothes to me of course....I take donations. You can send your maternity clothes to.... KIDDING....but really though, I have to start a WHOLE new wardrobe...why you ask? Well because I have this friend...we wont mention any names "cough cough Kristyn cough cough", but I let her borrow a HUGE ass box of my maternity clothes, well ALL of them and it was good stuff too, stuff that I would most def. wear now (well now being prego)....But long story short.....she had a garage sale and this lady from Birthline came and was giving her a guilt trip (this was her version BTW) about how there are so many young girls who dont have money to get anything and we are an organization that provides...blah blah blah....So that friend, being the good, kind person she is....decided to give ALL of my stuff to that lady...Yeah I said GIVE...like as in FREE!!!! Shit, she could have at least made a profit and gave me the money. And that lady was probably somebody like me that just needs the damn clothes! So yeah, you wouldnt know it...but I am over it! I have built a bridge and gotten over it! She still owes me like ALL of the maternity clothes she is buying currently since she is prego right now....too bad she is like a size minus zero and I am a size (Thats G14 classified and if I told you I would have to kill you)....so all in all, here I am, wanting another baby and I have 6 tank tops that I purchased on Old Navy's website the other day because they were all $3 and under....cant beat that when I will be paying full price next summer, ya know?? So if anyone wants to donate to my charity let me know :-)

Whoa!

Ok so...WHOA its been a long time since I last blogged....Emma is now 25 and Graci is 23, lol...obviously kidding! But seriously, its been awhile! Hmmm, lets see...what has been going on in my life these days....

Well we finally got the internet at our house so I can blog or search the internet without having to listen for the footsteps of my boss coming to find me on the internet....so thats good! I have been LOVIN some ebay lately....I find myself buying something like everyday (ok thats a little extreme..but really) Here is a list of things that I have purchased recently:

Wizard of Oz (Dorothy) costume (NWT, lol)...for Graci, since she said she wants to be "Darthy" and she wants me to be the "Wiken Wish".

I bought a computer...pretty damn fast and in good shape I might add. It was only $150 (thats with everything)....what a deal!

I bought some hunting crap for the hubby

I have purchased numerous computer games (Sims, Scratches, 11th Hour, Seventh Guest)

So yeah, I have bid on A LOT of things but its hard to win...most of the stuff I bought was on a "buy now" basis. Someobody always gets me at the last second....son of a *****!

What else is new.......Oh yeah, we got our FREE Nintendo Wii the other day....yeah I said FREE! When we signed up for Comcast Triple Play, they were offering a free Wii with installation....so I jumped on that considering that a Wii from the store is like $300....

Thats really all other then the fact that my dog, Martin the ShihTzu, has begun humping everything in sight....My poor cat Barney, he didnt ask to have a roomie that humps him every chance he gets...no wonder he only comes home to eat.
